Madonna Playfully Spanks West Hollywood Nightclub Owner in Front of Addison Rae at Surprise \u201cConfessions II\u201d Performance<\/h4>\n

Madonna made an epic surprise appearance Saturday night at West Hollywood LGBTQ bar and nightclub The Abbey. The invite-only event was billed as \u201cClub Confessions Los Angeles\u201d with DJs Stuart Price, Romy and Mez Monty. The festivities also served as a birthday party for The Abbey\u2019s owner Tristan Schukraft.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello, children, mutha is here to save you,\u201d Madonna said as she appeared in the DJ booth beside Price at about 1 a.m. Sunday morning. \u201cAre you ready to dance for me? Come on meet me on the dancefloor. Alright, let\u2019s go gays, come on! Don\u2019t let me down, gays.\u201d<\/p>\n

Madonna sang into the mic as Price played her new single \u201cI Feel So Free\u201d from her upcoming album \u201cConfessions on a Dance Floor: Part II.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addison Rae, trying to go incognito by wearing a black cat eye mask, danced while sitting on the edge of the deejay booth. At one point, Madonna led the crowd in a chant of, \u201cThere\u2019s nothing that we cannot do,\u201d before ending with her exclaiming, \u201cYes, motherfuckers, there\u2019s nothing that we cannot do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her set lasted for about 30 minutes, but not before ending her appearance by wishing a \u201chappy birthday\u201d to Schukraft. \u201cDo we want to pull his pants down and spank him?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

Schukraft stayed fully clothed as Madonna playfully whacked him on the butt as she and the crowd sang \u201cHappy Birthday.\u201d<\/p>\n

The evening was presented by Schukraft\u2019s PrEP company Mistr.<\/p>\n

Madonna Debuts Two New Songs at The Abbey, Tells Crowd to \u201cPut Your Phones Down\u201d<\/h4>\n

If you could get on the list, it was the place to be. Judging from the line snaking down Robertson Blvd. into the wee hours on Saturday night, many did \u2014 but not everyone made it inside to catch a close-up glimpse of Madonna, who strolled behind the decks at 12:53 a.m., sending the packed crowd into a frenzy.<\/p>\n

Madonna previewed two new songs at the (not-so) surprise appearance at Club Confession, a one-night party at the legendary Abbey nightclub in West Hollywood, doubling as a birthday bash for Tristan Schukraft, the CEO of telehealth company MISTR and owner of the storied gay Mecca.<\/p>\n

Wearing a powder-pink bustier \u2014 reminiscent of the archival piece she wore at Coachella that was later stolen \u2014 she rolled out two previously unheard cuts: \u201cLove Sensation\u201d and a track titled \u201cFreedom\u201d that played like a demo and quickly became the night\u2019s centerpiece.<\/p>\n

Stuart Price, the architect of 2005\u2019s Confessions on a Dance Floor and Confessions II kept the beats coming. Before him, Romy and DJ Mez Monty took turns at the decks.<\/p>\n

From behind the booth, Madonna worked the room like a drill sergeant. \u201cDon\u2019t wait. Take it. Don\u2019t wait. Take it. Take your freedom! Put your hands up! Put your hands up!\u201d she shouted, before admonishing the crowd to \u201cput your phones down\u201d and be in the music. At another point, she led the room in a call-and-repeat: \u201cThere\u2019s nothing that we cannot do!\u201d<\/p>\n

Madonna debuts new music with Addison Rae at secret \u2018Confessions Club\u2019 event in LA<\/h4>\n

Madonna debuted music from her new album during a secret late night event in Los Angeles last night when she made a surprise appearance at the LGBTQ+ club The Abbey in West Hollywood at an invite-only event that was billed as \u2018Club Confessions Los Angeles\u2019.<\/p>\n

Appearing at the DJ booth at around 1am, Madonna was joined by Stuart Price \u2013 who has produced both \u2018Confessions\u2019 albums \u2013 as well as Addison Rae, while Romy of The xx and Mez Monty also performed.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello children, mutha is here to save you,\u201d she said to the crowd. \u201cAre you ready to dance for me? Come on, meet me on the dancefloor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Price played the record\u2019s only single so far, \u2018I Feel So Free\u2019, and also debuted two new tracks, including \u2018Freedom\u2019, and treated the crowd to a mix of \u2018Hung Up\u2019, the hit song from the original \u2018Confessions\u2019 album.<\/p>\n

Addison Rae, from underneath a Catwoman-style eye mask, hyped up the crowd during \u2018I Feel So Free\u2019, while Madonna paid tribute to The Abbey owner Tristan Schukraft, leading a rendition of \u2018Happy Birthday\u2019 to him while she spanked him on the stage.<\/p>\n

Madonna Debuts New Songs at CEO’s Birthday Bash: ‘Yay for the Gays!’<\/h4>\n

Queen of Pop Madonna made a special late-night (early-morning!) visit to WeHo’s famous queer club the Abbey Sunday at 1 a.m. \u2014 and she didn’t come empty-handed! As her producer Stuart Priced DJed, Madonna, 67, emerged in a diaphanous pink disco-bridal look, complete with shades and a veil.<\/p>\n

“Yay for the gays!”
\nSpeaking to a throng of admirers, she began, “Hello, children… Mother is here to save you. Are you ready to dance for me?”<\/p>\n

“Come on, meet me on the dance floor,” she teased from the DJ booth, referencing her new song “I Feel So Free.”<\/p>\n

“Don’t let me down, gays,” she went on. “Yay for the gays!”<\/p>\n

Madonna danced along to “I Feel So Free” and her 2005 classic “Hung Up,” but most importantly stealthily debuted what sounded like at least two brand-new tracks from her upcoming “Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II” album.<\/p>\n

In the first new song, she sings, “We’re all waitin’ for our freedom,” holding the last note as the song dissolves into a hedonistic house anthem.<\/p>\n

The crowed was into it, chanting, “Madonna! Madonna! Madonna!”<\/p>\n

She also played a track seemingly called “Love Sensation.”<\/p>\n

The purpose of the party was to celebrate the birthday of Abbey owner Tristan Schukraft, who is known as “The CEO of Everything Gay,” so Madonna brought him out and bent him over for his birthday whacks while serenading him with the least wholesome rendition of “Happy Birthday” ever.<\/p>\n
